I've always said the only reason to consider NOT changing the rule is what will happen when we are in the minority someday. Not saying we shouldn't change it just taht is teh worry some have and it is being expressed more often.
Do you REALLY think that the 'Rats would hesitate for a minute to change the rules if they could replace a constructionist judge with a liberal one?
I find it appalling that the interest groups demanding that the liberals block judges are the same interest groups in our courts 24/7 suing to get out of judges what they can't get out of legislatures. It disgusts me. What kind of government is this?
